Why is Air Defense 4 take so long to build? (and the rest.)

Now, this is coming from someone well aware everything takes forever and a half to build and that I'm sure it will only get worse. (that's basically the point.) I'm a town hall 6, and every other upgrade takes 1 to 2 days. The air defense takes FIVE days. (the town hall 7 is only a day more.)

It's an absurd time difference from every other thing. And town hall 7 literally gives you a dozen possible upgrades in an extra day. VS. a single upgrade. Now I get why it might be so expensive. (and it is.) Because air units are definitely some of the stronger ones I've seen. But balancing wise, it seems quite imbalanced compared to the rest of town hall 6's stuff.

Does anyone else find it a bit ridiculous...Is there any other extreme differences I can look forward to? (Town hall aside...>.>)

Also, I couldn't log in the whole last night on this forum (or even see it.) I'll assume it was down because it was very frustrating as it kept screwing up my password. Saying it was wrong over and over again. Also I had to google renew password...Where is the quick way to get into it? Most sites, (like all of them) if you forget your password usually there's a quick and easy. "Trouble with password?" Help didn't have it. (And it probably should.) So am I blind or is this literally the only forum on the planet that has no easy shortcut to a reset password?

Also while I'm ranting...The pvp raiding is getting obnoxious. Almost every person that attacks me, in the literal second I go to do something else. Twice or Thrice in a matter of seconds. Also everyone is either 100's of trophies higher or about 5-10 levels higher...So I can't really get revenge on a high percent of them. But every single time I've ever attacked in pvp. I fight people higher level than me. Also it always seems people I could attack, have like endless shields that never go away until the disappear on my revenge list. >.> (Its like the game is mocking me.) So to turn this to a question aside from does anyone else experience this or am I just lucky?...Why are the cooldowns so long for the shields? It's not a pay to win thing, because you can't attack either. (or at least as much as paying for builders/finishing buildings.) And its pretty wonderful having a bit of peace. (And its stops you from making more money in a small way.) I get having a cool down maybe equal to how long it protected you, but the length of it seems a bit much.

Just some things I'm throwing out there as questions and suggestions...

Wait till you get to Town Hall 9 and some upgrades are a stunning 14 days.
5 days in nothing.

LOL, 5 days is nothing at TH10, but you need your defenses up a lot more than I do. With infernos, xbows, lava walls etc, having a defense down means nothing to me. But when I was TH7/8, I would get crushed when I had a couple defenses down. So even though it takes longer at TH9/10, you can still defend yourself and don't feel like a sitting duck. Just upgrade and don't think about it, 5 days goes by fast.

As far as getting raided. Put your Th outside your base. Hope someone comes and snipes it. Do not break your shield, unless: you can attack a couple times, have very little loot, or the shield is about to break soon anyway. You can't attack once and log off, you will lose too much. At TH10, yeah you can get away with doing that, but at TH6, no chance.

One that got me was hidden tesla at th8 since there are 3 levels to upgrade (th7 max is 3, th8 max level is 6). These 3 levels take 6+8+10 days.

Times are just going to get longer, ads and teslas are always bad for length (as are xbows and infernos).

Air defenses are very important to the game! They can stop an air attack in its tracks.

Max air defence takes 12 days each. At TH10 pretty much every upgrade except for Cannons and Archer Towers takes 10+ days.

Enjoy!

I've always assumed cost and length of upgrade reflects supercell's perception of how important that particular building is, which is why I've always done the longer more expensive upgrades first. But I could be wrong, probably...

Short upgrades would make it hard to keep builders busy.

I'm TH8 and upgrading teslas and if you think 5 days are a lot then well bad news
assuming you upgrade to TH8 with 2 level 3 teslas you have 3 new levels that take 6, 8 and 10 days (24 total)
AND you have a brand new tesla that will take 1+3+5+6+8+10 days (33 total)
and ofc don't forget the new air defense (I don't know the whole breakdown but level 5 to 6 takes a grand total of 8 days)

As long as you move into the game the times will keep expanding... so in a few months you'll probably say 5 days are nothing

Before level 8 teslas came out, they used to take even longer. Used to be 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 14 up to level 7. So be glad?! lol. :confused:
